<div id="readability-page-1"><div> M Stanley published a research report stating that 1Q results of Chinese insurers were broadly in line with expectations, with high-quality performance from both life and property insurance businesses. The broker believes that market concerns over 1Q earnings have largely been priced in. As the stock market has rebounded since April, upside risks to the outlook have increased, and it expects stronger performance in 2QYY. M Stanley forecasts that Chinese insurers will record profits in April, potentially reversing the previous downtrend. Given a more favorable equity market outlook, continued healthy business growth and stable interest rates, the broker sees more upside room in 2QYY. CHINA LIFE (02628.HK) +0.360 (+1.258%) Short selling $96.97M; Ratio 25.116% may see further rebounds in the near term, while the broker continues to name PING AN (02318.HK) +0.550 (+0.873%) Short selling $86.24M; Ratio 14.342% as its top pick due to strengthening fundamentals.
